Advice appreciated re new purchase - Platypus Wald Solingen
Hi,
I just bought a razor from eBay, not sure how it will turn out, but I bought because of the Platypus branding, and want to clean it up, and give it new scales out of Platypus Eucalyptus wood (Australian native wood). Im a beginner and have never tried this before. Based on the pics below (these are from the ebay listing, I wont receive it for another week), do you think this is something (apart from honing) that a beginner could do without damaging the markings or blade? If so, please advise how I should start. I will get it honed by someone local who knows what they are doing. If it's too risky for a beginner, I will send it for restoration and new scales if its not too expensive. Ive also put a couple of pics of Platypus wood & burl - Im leaning towards the burl but I think either would be nice (or may do scales in both as the wood is cheap.
Thanks.
